Diana cracked her knuckles and looked around.The room was empty.
"So where are we?"
She looked at Nami and sighed.
"Somewhere."
"That doesn't help."
"I know."
-10 minutes ago-
"That's an awesome kick."
Sanji smiled at her.
"Thanks."
She chuckled and destroyed some more robots.Sanji smiled again and did the same.Zero and Nami too.
For the past half-an-hour,they had slashed,kicked,fried and energy blasted robots.After Vile was defeated,they found a map and were on their way to Sigma.
During the course,Zero had explained everything about him.The red robot talked about all their past fights,about the Maverick virus and practically everything there was to be known.Diana and Nami listened carefully,the redhead sometimes interrupting to ask about something.Sanji didn't understand at all so he just followed behind.
And now,they were in trouble.
They just didn't know it yet.
Diana blasted some more Mavericks and sighed.Honestly,just destroying easy robots isn't very fun.
Suddenly,the floor started shaking.
Nami gulped and looked around.
"W-What's going on?"
"The floor started shaking."
"...That I know,Sanji."
"Sorry Nami-san."
The whole floor broke and they fell into the darkness.
The green-eyed teenager got up and glanced around.
There was rumble everywhere.Nami was lying on the floor,not moving.
Diana frowned.
"Hey!Hey!Uh...Whatsyourname!Ginger!"
She knelt down beside her and shook her shoulder.
The older girl groaned.
The blond sighed and got up again.She walked around the division,looking for a way out.
Spotting a door,she went back.Nami was just waking up.
"Oi!Ginger!Are you okay?"
"I have a name,you know?"
"Actually I don't.Are you alright?"
She flinched and shook her head.
"I'm fine."
"You're bleeding."
The redhead looked down at her arm.Diana was right.A crimson river flowed down.She flinched again.
"It's nothing.Where's Sanji and Zero."
"Dunno."
Diana cracked her knuckles and looked around.The room was empty.
"So where are we?"
She looked at Nami and sighed.
"Somewhere."
"That doesn't help."
"I know."
The navigator slowly got up,holding her injured arm and frowned.
"What should we do?"
"Find a first-aid kit and find the others."
"I don't need-"
"Just shut up and follow me."
"Ugh...My head..."
Sanji glanced around the room.Zero did the same.
The robot raised an eyebrow.
"What happened?"
"That earthquake shattered the floor.And we landed here."
Sanji dropped his head.
"Nami-san..."
"Are you okay Zero?"
"Fine.You?"
"Same.C'mon.We need to find the girls."
-
"How is the operation going?"
"Perfect sir.We managed to separate the opposing party.
"That is perfect..."
-
"Dammit!"
Diana growled and once again looked around.Nami shook her head.
"There's no way out.We're trapped here."
"Hmph.If there's no way out,then I just have to make one!"
"Wait,what are you-"
CRASH!
The redhead gulped.
"Y-You opened a hole in the wall."
The blond teenager smirked and entered.The navigator followed her.
-
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"That crashing sound?Like someone opened a hole in a wall."
"Who would open a hole in a wall,here?"
Sanji shrugged.
"Dunno."
Zero shook his head and kept walking forward.
"So what happened to you guys?"
"Uh?"
"Diana said she didn't know you.Yet,you're a team."
"It was...Complicated.To cut a long story short,we got stuck on her world because of her,and she agreed to let us in."
"Oh.You and Nami?"
"Uh?"
"Man,you're slow!What's up between you and the hot redhead."
Sanji sighed.
"Nothing.Unfortunately."
"Really unfortunate!I mean,look at her!She's totally-"
The cook glared at him and he stopped talking.
They kept walking.
"Eek!Get it off me!"
"It's just a spider web."
Nami calmed down.
"Oh."
"Full of spiders."
"AARGH!"
Diana smirked and looked around.They were probably in an underground level.A basement.There was no one close to them.
She looked back at Nami and sighed.
"I was kidding."
The navigator stopped and glared at her.
"What?"
"There are no spiders on you."
"...WHAT?"
"I said-"
"I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID!How could you be so mean?I was really scared!"
Diana started walking forward.
"Jesus Christ,girl!Get a sense of humor."
"For the last time,my name's-"
WHUP!
"Whup?"
She turned around.Nami was lying on the ground,face down.
"Err...Uh...Nami?It's Nami right?Are you okay?"
No response.
"Nami?"
She knelt down beside her.
"A-Are you okay?Nami!"
The redhead got up sudenly.Diana jumped back.
"This..."
She wiped some blood off her face.
"Was payback for the spiders.Ouch.My nose."
"Oh,great!You threw yourself on the floor and broke your nose.For revenge."
"I didn't throw myself!"
The navigator frowned.
"I tripped."
Diana looked to the bump on the floor.Was that...
"Get off!"
Nami scurried off.The younger girl crawled to the protrusion.
"It's a trapdoor!"
She pulled the handle and the door flung open.
"Jackpot!C'mon!"
-
"Look.Some stairs.And they go down."
Sanji frowned.
"Should we go?Maybe we should look for Nami and Diana first."
Zero smirked.
"Maybe they're already downstairs?Now come on,let's go!"
He jumped in.
The cook sighed and followed him.
"The party is heading down,sir!"
"Perfect,just perfect!"
"But sir-"
"Shut up!This is what I've been waiting for..."
"Stand still."
"But it stings!"
"Wimp."
The trapdoor led a medical room.
Diana was taking care of the wound on Nami's arm.
"Do you think the other two are okay?"
"Eh?"
"Zero and...Sanji..."
She smirked.
"Ah,you're worried about Sanji."
"I'm worried about both."
"But more about him,uh?"
"Well,no...Uh,yes.He's my friend."
"Right.Friend."
The redhead glared at her.
"What?"
"Eh?"
"I didn't like the way you said that."
"Well,sure,he's your friend."
"I don't like him!Not like that!"
"I didn't say you did."
"No,but you-"
"Done."
Nami looked at her arm.It had a white bandage around it."
"Thanks..."
"T'was nothing.Can we get moving?"
"Uh,yeah,sure."
She slided off the observation table and headed for the door.
It all happened in a split second.
She heard a blast and was pushed to the side.She fell to the ground.
The door exploded and Diana pushed her away,grabbing the door with her other hand.The girl smirked.
"You owe me.Twice."
"Whatever.Who's keeping count?"
"I am."
A group of Mavericks walked in.
Nami reached for her Clima Tact.
"Oh,no!"
"What?"
"I lost my weapon."
Diana glared at her.
"Please,girl.Please tell me you're kidding."
"I'm not!It must have flied away when we fell!"
"Look!"
"More stairs?"
Sanji picked something from the ground.
"No.This."
He was holding the Clima Tact.
"Nami's weapon?"
"Yeah.Know what this means?"
"She might be around here?"
"Yes.Unprotected."
He started running.
"H-Hey!Wait up!"
